As soon as the entrance to the secret room was opened, a riot broke out in the Undercity. How could such a coincidence happen?
Obviously, the dark elves sensed the opening of the secret room here, and this secret room seemed to be a very important place to them, so it triggered such a big reaction.
Next, these dark elves will probably lead their army to attack the temple again, and now the magic crystal array established by the goblins has just been dismantled by Eugene. The goblins are at the time when their combat effectiveness is at their weakest. This time, the dark elves may be able to compare. Call in easily.
Once the dark elves move in, they will definitely not let outsiders get close to this place.
In other words, there is not much time left for him.
Mu You hurriedly continued to operate the game.
[Amidst the deafening shouts of death from the outside world, your figure sank into the mountain wall. 】
[You appear in a quaint hexagonal hall. 】
[Surrounding the main hall, there are densely packed stone statues, numbering in the thousands. The statues include humans, animals, birds, fish, insects and other life forms. 】
[And among these stone statues, a huge humanoid statue more than 20 meters high stands like stars holding the moon. The statue holds a scepter, wears armor, and has a majestic posture. A pair of wide white wings extend from its back. The two gems embedded in the eyes are shining with divine brilliance. 】
[Statue of unknown gods (activated state): When activated, you can offer lifespan to the statue of the god. Each person has only one opportunity to offer it in his life. When the lifespan of the offering reaches 1000 years or more, the worshiper will gain one point of 'God's Power' , the attack power is permanently increased by one. 】
"???"
Mu You almost thought he had seen it wrong.
It takes a thousand years of life in exchange for a little attack power.
God...is he so picky?
Mu You frowned and stared at this explanation, and tried to click on the text of 'God's Power'.
[Power of God: Absolute attack power that can be effective under any circumstances (only attacks by yourself or loaded equipment, indirect attacks using buildings and props are invalid)]
Absolute attack power...
Mu You felt a little relieved after seeing this simple explanation.
This attack power seems to be a system independent of ordinary attacks and can take effect under any circumstances. That is to say, no matter how high the enemy's defense is, how many damage reduction buffs are applied, how special the enemy's physique is, or how strange his ability is, he will Can cause at least a little damage.
In this way, the value of this attack power is relatively high, but compared to its price and 1,000-year lifespan, it is really not worth it.
Due to the special mechanism, Muyou still chose to redeem it.
He is not short of life now. The current life span is 1,752 years, and the city lord's salary alone is 50 years, 1,000 years. If you calculate carefully, it is only 20 days' salary.
[You walk to the statue of the god and choose to offer your life span to the god. 】
[Please enter the lifespan value you want to enshrine...]
A text box popped up below, and Muyou entered '1000'.
[You dedicated 1,000 years of life to an unknown god, and the remaining life span is: 752 years. 】
[You have obtained 'God's Power'*1. 】
Mu You opened the panel and took a look. At this time, a row of data was added to the panel, and the name was 'Power of God'.
[At the end of the worship service, the light in the god's eyes quietly disappeared and turned back into an ordinary statue. 】
[And you were pushed out of the hall by a strange force and returned to the temple corridor. 】
[At the same time, the seventeen 'pilgrimage braziers' in the temple were extinguished at the same time. 】
Mu You looked helpless. There were so many restrictions on this thing. There was only one chance to ask the gods once a week, and each person could only obtain the power of the gods once in his life. So the statue could not be opened a few times throughout the year.
Mu You shook his head. At this time, a prompt was issued in the game, and fierce gunfire came from the direction of the entrance. It was obvious that the dark elf army had started fighting with the goblins at the entrance of the temple.
He had to start quickly. Cleaning up the goblins was the second priority, and the main thing was to collect robot coils.
[You appeared in the corridor and immediately attracted the attention of a goblin engineer in front. 】
[The goblin is driving a beast-shaped robot towards you. 】
[Beast-shaped battle robot (level 15), attack power (weak): 9-12, health value: 11,000, ability: beast roar, claw bite, self-destruct when dying. 】
[Due to insufficient energy supply received by the robot, the robot's attack power and speed are reduced by 90%, and combat abilities cannot be used. 】
Sure enough, Eugene's troubles worked. These robots were insufficient in energy supply and their strength was greatly reduced. Only one-tenth of their original combat effectiveness was left. Mu You was naturally not afraid.
[You summoned a tree man*5. 】
[You released a fireball at the robot...]
What followed was the usual battle process. There was nothing to say. The robot without its claws was just a sandbag. Mu You swung his magic wildly and quickly emptied the opponent's health bar.
[You kill the battle robot, and your experience value +15. 】
[The robot explodes automatically, and the strong fire instantly floods the five-meter nearby area. All your trees will be reduced to ashes and disappear. 】
[You search the location where the robot self-destructed and found the 'robot coil'*1. 】
The ancestral self-destruction of the goblin clan seems to have been well inherited by these alchemy products, and the power of this self-destruction is a bit terrifying. It can take away a tree with a thousand health points in one wave.
If this is the only way, forget it. The key point is that when the robot dies, the goblin inside also dies, and it is a self-destruction death. He returns directly to the city. Not counting his head, there is no life income, and there is no other trophy except the coil, so Strictly speaking, brushing this thing is quite a loss.
At this time, the fighting outside is getting more and more intense. According to this momentum, the dark elves will soon break in.
Mu You hurriedly called Lin Xue and others to come and help, mainly to help him collect coils.
"These robots will self-destruct when they die, try to use long-range attacks..."
"Just clean up the robots inside the temple. Don't go near the door, be careful of being accidentally injured..."
Mu You warned a few people.
Fortunately, the main force of the goblins was fighting with the elves at the entrance. The remaining soldiers inside the temple were just some remnants, so there was no danger in cleaning them up.
[You killed the battle robot, gained experience +15, and obtained robot coil*1...]
[You killed the mountain-building robot and got +10 experience. You searched nearby and found nothing...]
…
Mu You searched for goblins all the way, and he found that not all robots would drop coils. Only high-level combat robots could drop them stably. Others may lose their loot during self-destruction because of insufficient coil quality.
[You killed the battle robot...]
[You found the imprisoned old goblin Eugene, who was being tied up and imprisoned in an iron cage. 】
[You used the unlocking spell, unlocked Eugene's shackles, and freed him. 】
[Eugene sadly tells you that when he was destroying the tenth magic crystal mine, he was discovered by other goblins and arrested as a traitor. He was going to be sent back to Clockwork City to undergo a public trial by the goblins. 】
[It has been marked as a sinner, and will be discovered by the tribe as long as it gets close. Therefore, it has not been able to return to the Clockwork City for some time. 】
The old goblin seemed to feel a little guilty for betraying his tribe.
But this is actually not a big deal. Whether it is a sin or not depends on the interests after all. When the old goblin really proves the feasibility of the eternal power device in the future, the goblins will definitely not care about this sin and will have to treat people respectfully. Please go back.
Taking the old goblin with him, Mu You continued to farm robots.
After killing a dozen more robots, his coils had reached 34.
"How many coils do you have?" Mu You asked in his voice.
"19..."
"I have 27 here..."
"23..."
The three of them replied one after another. Mu You did a simple calculation and found that it was already over a hundred.
"OK, that's enough, retreat!"
Mu You immediately called a few people to evacuate. After all, brushing this thing took a lot of energy.
As for the remaining goblins, just leave them to the dark elves to clean up.
Next, Lin Xue and others evacuated the temple along the exit of the ant nest.
Mu You was not in a hurry to leave, but continued to explore the depths of the temple.
These goblins seemed to have dug a hole in the ground to enter the dark elf temple. So through the hole they broke into, it is said that their lair can be found in reverse.
[You have arrived at the deepest part of the temple. 】
[What appears in front of you is a dark and long tunnel. Looking inside, it is bottomless and pitch black. 】
[A railway track extends from the temple and submerges into the tunnel. 】
[Ore carts loaded with ore were brought from the direction of the temple, drove into the tunnel along the rails, and disappeared...]
This should be the entrance where goblins enter the temple. It seems that the goblins have transformed it into a tunnel specially used for delivery.
After thinking about it, Muyou clicked on 'Mine Cart'.
[When the next minecart came, you jumped on the minecart, discarded most of the ore in the car, and hid inside the minecart. 】
[The minecart sank into the tunnel along the bottomless black rails, sometimes tilting left and right, sometimes up and down, the speed is getting faster and faster, and you don’t know where it will lead...]
【Driving...】
Sitting on a minecart has the same effect as a mount. It does not consume stamina, but it cannot stop or control the direction. It can only be carried away by the minecart.
Mu You waited patiently.
As a result, I waited for more than two hours before a new prompt finally popped up in the game.
[Amidst the bumps of the mine cart, you suddenly feel that your vision in front of you has broadened. A few thousand meters away, a lighthouse-like building appears. You and the mine cart in front of you are quickly approaching there. 】
Mu You's heart moved and he hurriedly chose to 'jump out of the car'.
[You use phantom to teleport away from the minecart and appear behind a rock. 】
[You look around and find that this is an artificially opened underground space with an extremely wide range. From the caves on the surrounding mountain walls, rails extend out, connecting from all directions to the lighthouse platform in the center. 】
[You hid in the darkness and slowly groped towards the lighthouse. 】
[When you arrive near the lighthouse, you take a closer look and discover that this is an underground base station established by the goblins. A total of thirteen railway tracks from all directions intersect here. 】
[At this time, several alchemy robots are busy under the lighthouse. After sorting and sorting the mine carts coming from all directions, they move them to another railway track where they should go. All goods are handed over in an orderly manner here, and then continue to be transported, and the materials are delivered to the major bases of the Goblin tribe...]
Mu You also had to admire the mobility of these goblins. They created a transportation network extending in all directions directly underground, and it was also a fully automated logistics network.
At this time, Mu You did not alert the enemy. The operator quietly walked around the base station and went to the opposite side to take a look at the routes leading to them.
[Along this track, the minecart will arrive at the Dark Mark Mine. Estimated journey: 25 hours...]
[Along this track, the minecart will reach the Blight Swamp. Estimated journey: 32 hours...]
[Along this track, the minecart will arrive at Clockwork City. Estimated journey: 15 hours...]
…
After checking a few roads, Mu You's eyes lit up. Sure enough, he found the railway track to Clockwork City, and it was direct!
But Mu You is not in a hurry to go there. It will take more than ten hours to ride in a mine cart. If you are not in a hurry, you can go back and deal with the affairs of the Undercity first.
Next, Mu You found a hidden space near the lighthouse platform, put down the dark teleportation array, and then teleported back to the Undercity.
Mu You first went to Lin Xue and the others to inquire. By this time, the battle in the temple had already ended.
Without energy support, the goblins were no match for the elves. Not long after they evacuated, the temple was breached by the elves. The goblin products in the cave were cleared away by the furious elves, and the hole where the goblins delivered goods seemed to have been completely destroyed. Buried.
After returning to the Undercity, Mu You rushed to the entrance of the temple again and tried to 'enter'.
As a result, a prompt popped up: He was stopped by two dark elf guards. Outsiders were prohibited from setting foot in the important temple area.
There was no other way, so Mu You had no choice but to activate the horn on the spot.
[You input magic power into the Elf Horn, and the Dark Elf Queen, Fred the Exile, appears in front of you. 】
[Freid looks at the temple in front of him, then looks back at you, asking you whether the Goblins’ weak combat power just now has something to do with you. 】
This is the other party confirming the completion of his mission.
Mu You's task is to clean up all the goblins and goblin buildings in the temple, but this job is now being completed by the elves.
However, the elves were able to capture the temple so easily because they cut off the energy supply of the goblins in advance, which greatly reduced the casualties of the elves.
This matter makes it clear that as long as the other party is not too evil-hearted, the task must be considered completed for him.
[You nodded and admitted this, and explained what happened to Fred, but concealed the fact that you broke into the temple's secret room. 】
[From the way Fred looked at you, you felt that she might have suspected that you were the one who opened the secret room. However, because the elves had just checked and the statue was not damaged, Fred did not pursue it now. this matter. 】
[Freid has acknowledged your contribution, and you have obtained the 'City of Eternal Night Map Fragments (9)']
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. The other party had indeed suspected him. Fortunately, he successfully settled the task for him.
As for the secret room, depending on what the Elf Queen meant, what they cared about was the integrity of the statue. As for the fact that someone had gone in and worshiped the statue, they didn't care.
After coming back to his senses, Mu You looked at the fragments he had just acquired.
However, before he could take out the fragments, prompts popped up one after another in the game.
[It is detected that all nine fragments of the City of Eternal Night have fallen into the hands of the Fool, and the fragment guidance is turned on. 】
[You find that a guidance arrow appears on the fragment in your hand, pointing in a certain direction ahead, and it is changing the angle at a speed visible to the naked eye. 】
"oh?"
Mu You was startled.
As expected, this was the last fragment of eternal night. As soon as he got it, the fragment's guidance was immediately activated. Mu You was not surprised.
What surprised him was that as soon as the guidance was turned on, the direction of the arrow began to change, which showed that there was at least one other Evernight Shard near him at this time.
